Questioning Relationship Status

John What is this?

[after Lucy kisses him at someone's wedding event]

Lucy What is what?

John Are we getting back together?

John Lucy, are we getting back together?

Lucy I don't know. I really don't.

John So you thought you'd just show up at my door, not have a boyfriend, agree to get in my car, kiss me, fuck me while you try to get over someone else, and then leave me again? Is that it? Do you think I'm worthless?

Lucy No, I don't think that.

John Am I disposable?

Lucy Of course not.

John Do you feel bad for me? Poor old John can't figure his life out'?

Lucy Never.

John Then why are you using me?

Lucy I'm not.

John I'm usually desperate enough to let you. I'm a beggar for you. When I see your face, I see wrinkles, and grey hair, and children who look like you... I can't help it.

John But as your friend... I would tell you it's a bad idea to be with a 37-year-old cater waiter who still has roommates. I would say... you definitely shouldn't marry a guy that has $2,000 in his bank account in a city he can't afford, who's only still there to keep trying to be a theatre actor because someone told him he was good at it once. So, where does that leave us? Here. At someone else's wedding. I can't give you the wedding or the marriage you want. I couldn't even give you the relationship you wanted. It's been years, and I still can't afford to be with you.

Power Dynamics in a Confined Environment

Mason He won't come here. He won't leave his engine.

Curtis We're gonna rip you into little pieces. He still won't come? Well, we control the water. We turn that off, he'll have to come.

Mason Turn off the water? Well, you'll only be condemning your own people. The water comes from the front. The nose of the train, it breaks up the snow and ice and-and turns it into water. It's like an elephant's trunk. The water comes in the mouth. Not in the bum, Curtis. Yes, Wilford knows you well, Mr. Curtis Everett. He's been watching you. And we know you won't harm your own people. Too bad you couldn't save your second in command. What was his name? Edgar?

[seeing him react]

Curtis Shut the fuck up!

Mason Curtis, Curtis, I can help you.

Curtis You can fucking die is what you can do.

Mason Wilford won't come here. He's not coming. You've got to go to him. And I can take you. I know the train. I can guarantee you safe passage.

Curtis Why the fuck would I trust you?

Mason Because I want to live.

Desire for Steak and Memory Loss

Edgar Those bastards in the front sections think they own us. Eating their steak dinners and listening to string quartets and that.

Curtis We'll be different when we get there.

Edgar I want steak...What does steak taste like again? I had it once, but I can't remember.

Curtis If you can't remember then it's better to forget.

Edgar What does it smell like when it's cooked? It must emanate around the place.

A Critical Moment for Survival on the Train

Curtis We have 4 seconds to go through three gates and bust Nam out.

Gilliam Then Nam gets us the rest of the way. Our fate depends on this man.

Curtis Yeah. If we can get him to cooperate, he can take us all the way to the front of the train.

Gilliam Very front section?

Curtis Yeah. From here right to the front of the train. Everything in one stroke. We control the engine, we control the world. Without that, we have nothing. All past revolutions have failed because they couldn't take the engine.

Gilliam What are you saying?

Curtis This time we take the engine.

Gilliam Then what?

Curtis We kill them.

Gilliam Wilford?

Curtis You should run the train now, not Wilford.

Gilliam I am a shadow of my former shadow. My day was decades ago.

Finding Strength in Partnership and Ambition

John Now, I admit, I'm not confident that I can make myself less broke.

Lucy You don't need to worry about that. You know I can take care of myself.

John Yeah, I know. It's not for you. It's for me. For us. You make me brave enough to admit that I want to be happy, and I want to be happy with you.

John And I'm gonna pick up more catering shifts and ask for raise, I'll find a serving job at an actual restaurant, and I won't say no to commercial auditions, even though they're annoying... I'll make an actual effort to find a manager-

John ... And I'm going to move out of my apartment, and sell my car...

Lucy Don't sell your car.

The Urgency of Their Mission

Mace Do I have to spell it out for you? We have a payload to deliver to the heart of our nearest star. We're delivering that payload because that star is dying. And if it dies, we die. Everything dies. So that is our mission. There is nothing, literally nothing, more important than completing our mission. End of story!

Trey He's right.

Mace He's right? Of course I'm right! Is anyone here seriously considering otherwise?

Searle May I put a counter-argument?

Mace No!

Searle Captain?

Kaneda Go ahead.

Searle It would, of course, be absurd to alter our trajectory to assist the crew of the Icarus I. Even if we knew that some or even all of that crew are still alive, their lives are entirely expendable when seen in the context of our mission. As are our own lives.

Mace Exactly.

Searle However, there is something on board the Icarus I that may be worth the detour. As you pointed out, Mace, we have a payload to deliver. A payload, singular. Now, everything about the delivery and effectiveness of that payload is entirely theoretical. Simply put, we don't know if it's gonna work. But what we do know is this: if we had two bombs, we'd have two chances.

Kaneda You're assuming we'd be able to pilot Icarus I.

Searle Yes.

Trey Which is assuming that whatever stopped them completing the mission wasn't a fault or a damage to the spacecraft.

Searle Yes.

Mace It's a lot of assumptions.

Searle It is. It's a risk assessment. The question is: does the risk of a detour outweigh the benefits of an extra payload?

Mace We'll have a vote.

Searle No. No, we won't. We are not a democracy. We're a collection of astronauts and scientists, so we're gonna make the most informed decision available to us.

Mace Made by you, by any chance?

Kaneda Made by the person best qualified to understand the complexities of payload delivery: our physicist.

Lucas It's called a grind, bro.

Scott So, can you do a grindy thingy now?

Scott Wow. Wow. Wow.

[watching; Lucas' kilometer speed increases rapidly; Lucas is now going dangerously fast, the bottom of the rail in sight; going too fast to stop, Lucas reaches the bottom of the steps at 309 kilometers, and explodes into coins]

The Struggle for Balance on the Train

Curtis There's not a soul on this train who wouldn't trade places with you.

Wilford Would you trade places with me?

Curtis Fuck you.

Wilford Curtis, dear boy, the fact is that we are all stuck inside this blasted train. We are all prisoners in this hunk of metal. Medium rare? And this train is a closed ecosystem. We must always strive for balance. Air, water, food supply, population must always be kept in balance. For optimum balance, however, there have been times when more radical solutions were required. When the population needed to be reduced, rather... drastically.

Betrayal and Irony in Survival Negotiations

Wilford Our original agreement was for the insurgency to end at the Yaketerina Tunnel. And all the survivors would go back to the tail section to enjoy much more space.

Curtis You're a fucking liar. Gilliam would never do that.

Wilford Well, it all worked out in the end. Your counterattack actually made the insurgency ten times more exciting. Unfortunately, the front suffered more losses than anticipated, and Gilliam had to... ...pay the price. Ironic, isn't it? How people dramatically cross that thin barrier between life and death.

Exploring the Effects of Light and Darkness

Searle It's invigorating. It's like... taking a shower in light. You lose yourself a little.

Corazon Like a floatation tank?

Searle Actually, no. More like... in psych tests on deep space, I ran a number of sensory deprivation trials, tested in total darkness, on flotation tanks. And the point about darkness is, you float in it. You and the darkness are distinct from each other, because darkness is an absence of something, it's a vacuum. But total light envelopes you. It becomes you. It's very strange. I... I recommend it.

Mace What's strange, Searle, is that you're the psych officer on this ship, and I'm clearly a lot saner than you are.

The Importance of Family and Trust

Steve Rogers / Captain America Tony– I'm glad you're back at the compound. I don't like the idea of you rattling around a mansion by yourself. We all need family. The Avengers are yours. Maybe more so than mine. I've been on my own since I was 18. I never really fit in anywhere, even in the army. My faith's in people, I guess. Individuals. And I'm happy to say that, for the most part, they haven't let me down. Which is why I can't let them down either. Locks can be replaced, but maybe they shouldn't. I know I hurt you, Tony. I guess I thought by not telling you about your parents I was sparing you, but I can see now that I was really sparing myself, and I'm sorry. Hopefully one day you can understand. I wish we agreed on the Accords, I really do. I know you're doing what you believe in, and that's all any of us can do. That's all any of us should. So no matter what, I promise you, if you need us– if you need me– I'll be there.

Namgoong Minsoo What if we don't? What if we could survive outside? Remember the Yekaterina Bridge? When your guys were getting chopped up? There's something I look at every New Year. A crashed airplane under the snow. All I saw ten years ago was just the tail. Now the body and wings are peeking out. Less ice and snow means... it's melting. The type of snow that's about to melt.
